How often can I visit? Your household may visit ONE of our pantries once per week. Please choose ONE Wesley Food Pantry location per week that best fits your needs. Only one member from your household may visit the pantry.
What if I am unable to visit the pantry? If you are unable to come to the pantry to pick up food, another person can pick up your food distribution on your behalf. That person must bring a completed proxy form along with your photo identification. The proxy form is your authorizing signature. A proxy form can be found at the bottom of this page.
Can I choose my own food? Does the food ever run out? You are welcome to choose the food items that best suit your family needs. Certain items may be limited or run short but we usually have a variety of items you can select. No one has ever left the pantry without food.
Does it help to come early? No. You will experience the shortest wait time when arriving after doors open. Items are restocked throughout the distribution. Arriving early is not a guarantee of the widest selection. Those arriving later but before closing time, are more likely to have shorter waits. The line order before our posted opening time is determined by a random draw of numbers.
Can I bring my children? Yes, children are welcome, but we do not provide child care. We often have activities for children early in the evening but you are responsible for supervising them at all times. Parents are expected to keep their children with them when in the building and when shopping.
